Mercury VCS is a lightweight, beginner-friendly version control system with features Git doesn’t natively provide. It focuses on simplicity, workflow control, and commit rules enforcement for teams or solo developers. Features
Commit Rules Enforcement – Define rules for commit messages or file structures to maintain a clean and consistent repository.
Simplified Versioning – Create unique versions with new-ver and automatically prevent duplicates.
Beginner-Friendly CLI – Commands are easy to remember and use:
commit <file> – Save a file (or files) to Mercury.
commit-msg <message> – Add a commit message (supports spaces).
restart-branch <branch> – Restart a branch quickly.
list-ver – List all repository versions.
create-rules <message> – Create a commitrules.txt file.
new-ver <version> – Create a new Mercury version.
mercuryversion – Show Mercury VC version info.
Lightweight and Focused – Avoids Git complexity while still providing essential version control functionality.
